Dictatorship of the Labyrinth City 151

Chapter 151 – Flies Flock to Places That Smell of Money (1)

It’s already been quite a long time, about a month, since the Breast Festival ended.

In the meantime, there were no significant changes in Fermaten.

As always, people made money by going in and out of the infinite labyrinth every day.

In the end, you have to earn money to bring about changes in your life, and only if you have money can change your life in a positive direction.

Although some people say that money causes unhappiness, the common perception among many people is that it is at least better than the unhappiness caused by not having money.

So what can Permaten do to earn this money?

Of course, you have to farm magic stones.

Whether you dig up magic stones with a pickaxe in the magic stone mine area or kill a monster and extract the magic stones from its heart, magic stones act like a kind of ‘currency’.

Because it is easy to carry.

Because there are places like the Magic Tower that are always in demand.

Because it is used in places where mana is used in everyday life.

Magic stones are more valuable than jewels, and the Permaten Infinite Labyrinth has been treated as a kind of ‘magic stone mine’.

By the way.

At some point, strange rumors began to circulate among people.

“Hey. Isn’t the amount of magic stones on the market these days greater than expected?”

“Really?”

At first, everyone thought it was no big deal.

“I guess someone messed with farming. Wow, you must have had a hard time making cash with magic stones. Tsk, it’s even harder when you lose weight.”

The fact that there are a lot of magic stones on the market means that a lot of farming has been done, and it is proof that someone has worked very hard.

“No, but that amount is really not normal? This is not just an average amount, it is a level that the merchant guild is keeping a close eye on.”

“What? How much was released?”

“The price of the magic stone drops by 5%.”

“It’s serious.”

Magic stones are like a kind of ‘gold’.

Unlike currency printed by the government through magical processing, such as ‘gold coins’ distributed on the market, it has value as a physical product distributed like ‘gold bars’.

However, as the magic stone became widely distributed in the market, the standard price of the magic stone began to plummet.

From the point of view of purchasing magic stones, it is not a big deal, but for adventurers selling magic stones, it is heartbreaking.

“No, fuck it, at the current price, if this trend continues for a month, 5% of my salary will be gone!”

“I’m glad the price drop ends like this.”

“What do you mean?”

“It means it could fall further.”

The wave of magic stones on the market showed no signs of stopping.

It is said that magic stones come from killing monsters in the infinite labyrinth, but in theory, you can farm hundreds of magic stones by killing hundreds of monsters a day.

“Even in the infinite labyrinth, you have to farm in moderation, you bastards with no morals!”

Still, who would really do something like that?

“Huh? No. We have a lot of magic stones. This time, I bought according to the budget… Okay, I will buy it as soon as the budget is secured.”

“Hey. At one time, when it was said that monsters eating humans would come out from under the 40th floor, the price of magic stones skyrocketed, but this time, the price of magic stones has become a piece of shit? Go down further. Haha. When it drops by 10%, no, 20%. “I’m proud of myself for not buying it.”

“No, fuck, how do you get so many magic stones? Who hunts what and for how long?!”

Those who want to buy.

A person who wants to make a fortune through this opportunity.

A person who wants to sell.

“This can’t go on! We need to get organized!”

“Find the cause! Where on earth do so many magic stones come from?”

“Let’s see what kind of bastards release so many magic stones without any manners!”

A sharp fall in the price of magic stones that shakes Fermaten’s economy.

“Fuck it. This sucks. I’ll just go get rid of it.”

Those who were looking for the cause were unable to find it even when the biggest cause was right in front of them.

* * *

‘After all, capitalism is the best.’

So Yeong-ju’s office.

After pouring milk tea into a cup for a short break, I felt happy to see the people protesting beyond the glass window.

“Foolish humans.”

The protest of those wearing red headbands and pickets of all kinds is heading towards the Permaten Castle.

-No monopolizing! Let’s conquer the safe labyrinth together!

-Overfishing is a shortcut to destruction!

Not towards our Countess Castle, but towards the old Fermatten Castle opposite our Countess Castle.

‘Prices plummet due to oversupply. If you think about it piecemeal, it seems right at first glance to reduce supply first.’

Fundamentally, as money and humans are related, it is now intertwined with many modern situations.

‘Is this similar to reducing the area of ​​​​​​rice farming because the price of rice fell?’

This is true not only for rice but also for most crops, but excessive supply leads to a decline in sales prices.

“What should I do because I’m sorry?”

The supply.

I’m doing it now.

‘Try to stay there for 100 days. Where does supply stop in the market?’

If adventurers and miners reduce their workload, the money in their pockets will eventually decrease.

“All those who make a living from magic stones are screwed. What do you think, Laura?”

“Hmm… “

Laura seemed to have no thoughts.

There was a large amount of empty magic stones in front of her, and Laura just kept attaching myth stones to her empty magic stones and removing them.

The moment the myth stone touched, the empty magic stone became a magic stone filled with mana.

If there is a factory that produces magic stones, this is it.

The amount of magic stones created in Laura’s hands was large enough to reduce the price of Permaten magic stones by 5%, or now 7%.

That’s how much money we made.

“Well, if the price of magic stones drops, wouldn’t it be okay to farm something else?”

“If you don’t have bread, eat cookies?”

“I think it’s a good idea.”

Was Laura in that class?

Or is it because, rather than struggling to save up every single penny to equip the equipment, he earned a lot of money once he went down to the infinite labyrinth?

“You lack sensitivity towards day laborers. Laura, be careful. If Fermaten goes bankrupt, the same thing could happen to us.”

“We’re working hard to raise money to prevent that from happening, right?”

“That’s right.”

Maintain your current wealth and create an environment where living expenses will continue to flow even if you stay still.

It is the Great Fermaten Empire, the mega-corporation Fermaten Group, or the evil organization Dark=Fermaten.

That’s probably fine.

If I could continue to have power and do whatever I want based on this capital.

“Laura. We ‘mass-produced’ magic stones to make money. We copied them to our heart’s content using myth stones.”

“Well, technically it’s not a clone, is it? We gave birth to it.”

“Give birth?”

“Yes. I will take care of the vital energy that Lord So placed in my stomach for 10 minutes, and then use sex magic to make it dwell in the myth stone. Hehe.”

“From that perspective, it seems like it would be right to give birth to another magic stone.”

Correction.

It is not a copy.

Strictly speaking, loss occurs while converting energy, so it is not a duplicate of the magic stone.

However, it is true that there is an overabundance of products that amount to duplication.

Each time you cum, you can easily fill up ten empty magic stones.

Moreover, when having sex, do you only cum once?

Laura has been cumming several times until she is no longer able to use sex magic, and even if Laura faints, Astarotte or Jurdias can cum and collect the energy.

The recycled magic stones created in this way begin to be secretly distributed in the market –

“Excuse me, Lord So.”

“Come in, Jurdias.”

At that moment, the main culprit who distributed a large amount of magic stones appeared in the market.

“What happened this time?”

“I handed over stolen goods at a low price. Since I don’t ask about the source, there won’t be any backlash. Here’s the sale price.”

Jurdias placed a box in front of us.

I opened the box, took out all the jewels inside, and spread them out on the desk, and Laura began to look at each jewel seriously.

“Laura. Can you feel anything?”

“…No. I think it was a waste of time again.”

“Tsk.”

I closed the lid of the box.

Inside were millions of gold, or jewels with the monetary value of Joanna’s winning prize.

But it’s also ugly to look at.

I can just throw these jewels in Permaton’s warehouse, and I have enough money in my wallet to buy boxes of these jewels.

“Damn, this isn’t it. This isn’t what I want.”

There is something you want.

At the time when Joanna joined, I obtained information about an item through Jurdias and instructed them to investigate in every possible way.

And I got the information.

There was a woman.

She had the jewelry I wanted.

She was an adventurer who conquered the Infinite Labyrinth, and she obtained a gem of a very unusual shape.

And then I found out.

-I have to sell this toy to buy potatoes. Ugh…

Even though I told everyone, including the Adventurer’s Guild, that it was a ‘special jewel that the Little Lord was looking for,’ it did not enter the count’s castle and instead flowed elsewhere.

“Ha. Should I have just spread it as recorded? If I had, would you have tried to sell it to me?”

“Hmm, maybe not? They say they didn’t sell it thinking it was a gem, but just sold it thinking it was an antique.”

“Huh. I’m going crazy. I never thought that creating an image of a sexist would come back as an embarrassment in a situation like this.”

The reason you didn’t come to me.

Nothing special.

-What are you trying to bring and sell? You’re trying to take trash and sell it. Since you stole my time, I will take your virginity as punishment!

…I’m afraid of being raped.

“Hehe. I can’t help what happened, so I have no choice but to do my best to find it.”

Currently.

“We have to find it somehow. If you know it’s a magic stone, buy all the magic stones. If you think it’s a gem, buy it somehow. We can never allow it to fall into the hands of someone else.”

A ‘mythical fossil’ has been released on the market.

“Damn it, someone who doesn’t even know the value of an item ends up buying it… !”

Probably, just for the price of one chicken.
